boldt and Hamilton speak of fabulous
wealth obtained from these mines by the
Spaniards. They were worked up to

the Indians swept over Northern Mex.
leo, and destroyed Chihuahua, and all
the miners were driven out. The In-
dians had control of the country so long
that the records were lost. Recently,

Army; w. X. Glenn, of Illinois, and
Capt. Allen Mcintyre, of Chicago, went
out on q surveying expedition

pany, and in an old chapel found maps
and other data. Dividing into four
small parties, thorough search was be-
gun, and McIntyre's party located what
is believed to be the La Yopa silver
mine, in the midst of thousands of ruined
buildings. among churches and forts.
